Great job Ivan. I'm an electrician and a farmer. I have always worked on my on vehicles and equipment. Watching you over the years has realy helped me up my game on fixing electrical issues on my vehicles and farm equipment.

Holy crap, how did Wednesday sneak up on me already? As soon as I saw that GM starting and stalling, it reminded of when I first got my TJ and fiddled around in a Sheetz parking lot for 10 minutes with the same issue. I somehow grabbed a spare key that didn’t have the chip in it. Never forgot that lesson. 😂👍👍🇺🇸

My wife and I still miss our Astro van! We actually owned a couple of them over the years and loved them!

BMW: Giddyup Giddyup Giddyup. A succinct diagnosis. 😂 That Astro van gives me bad memories of my 2002 Impala'a passlock system.

Hiya Ivan. Nice job on the Astro van. Very handy to have great access to the engine and ancillaries. Classic video clips of the BMW: Exhaust on the left (Mmmm) - BMW badge (Mmmm) - Exhaust on the right (Mmmm) - BMW badge on the steering wheel (I'll tell you what it is going to be very expensive). Enough said. Over-engineered unreliability. Great video. Thanks.
